When I die…

Everyone will congregate and cry
and say that I was a gift from the Gods.

When I die…

Everybody will look to the sky
and say, ‘Why!!?’

When I die…

Everybody will have
something to say.

When I die…

They will say that I was courageous,
rebellious and wise!

When I die…

They will say that I was a piece of light that
left the earth and it hurts.

When I die…

They will say that I was
a provider and protector.

When I die…

They will say that I was a tremendous leader,
a prolific writer, a riot inciter.

When I die…

But, of course,
none of this will be said until I die!
